... A family matter
I just lost my entry. Grrrr...... Silly computer. :op
Anyways, I was writing about Mike and Zack. Those two are quite the pair. :o) Zack's the life of the party... he knows that he's cute and that he can make all the adults smile, so he does it. He's got quite the imagination... They're quite the pair. Sometimes it's almost easy to forget that Zack's two years younger than Mike. Zack interprets for Mike, since Mike is autistic and can't always quite be understood properly, and provides the comic relief when things get too tense. Mike looks out for Zack and makes sure that he's okay.
They're quite the family... Doug's doing a good job with those kids. Sometimes, I wonder why Tammy left them. I know that life with three little kids, especially with Mike's health problems, isn't always fun and games, and that it wasn't exactly what she'd bargained for with life, but it's what she got, and it makes me sad that she would just leave them like that. But Doug's doing a great job with them, and to be quite honest, I'm glad he's got them instead of her.
They're growing up so fast, though... I know, I know; that's what everyone says about me, too, but I mean, Britt's almost 8; Mike's 6 1/2, and Zack's almost 5! I remember so clearly when all three of them were born... Crazy how time flies. Brittany's in grade three... I remember grade three. It doesn't seem like as long ago as it was, and it definitely doesn't feel like I was that young when I was in it--I thought I was so grown up, and now she's in grade three, and I keep thinking she's still a baby!
Anyways... it was a good day. I hadn't seen Kinne, Lucille, or Doug in a long time, and I miss them. Although after ten minutes with "the uncles," I wonder what exactly it was that I missed! :o) They used to tease me so badly when I was little, and they still get some weird pleasure out of it; although they don't tease me as badly as they did when I was young. Now it just takes different forms! Ah well... what else are extended families for?
I get to go home tomorrow, though... and that'll be so nice. I miss my bed. I miss my Kat. I love my family, but I don't like living with them anymore... :o) It's just weird. Three days, I can handle. More than this, and I think I'd go stir crazy! Ah well... I'm grateful it's not three weeks, like it was last year.
Anyways, Christmas is over now... and it's time to go to bed, very shortly. I'm tired. I guess that's what I get for staying up late when I'm already sick as it is!
